Meeeerry Christmas one and all!!!

Post by JamesB »

Well, as we get older, time goes faster and we´re there again! :D
I want to wish Merry Xmas for everyone, I wish you have great day/s with yours, in person "if the fates allow", and if not by skype or whatever.
This is a great community, I'll never say it enough times. :D It's great to share so many things with people from every corner in the Planet.
So this year, as we already know how you say Feliz Navidad in every language, why don't we share
a-memories of modeling (better if F1 related) in Christmas
b-Those trees, and home deco (I think its not the first time but anyway...)
c-Those (usually bad healthy wise) things we eat at this time
d-How are those local Xmas songs
e-All of the above! :lol:

Happy Holidays, gang!!

I'll start myself with part of the questionnaire.
b- The same as ever. We have a plastic tree since ahem, 30 years ago. We stopped using natural trees :wink: Also the diorama of JC's birthplace, we call it Belen. It has the Sacred Family, shepards, animals... the Magic Kings... Ive been adding small houses. BTW if some spaniard or even someone at spanish South America or Mexico has hawk eye, they'll spot someting definitely out of time. And no, it's not the bear with the bell

c- We eat tons of Turron. It's a sweet made with almond, honey and sugar. Yhe three at the left are the suposedly original and true ones. The rest are abominations, mutant mixes of chocolate and everything else, terrible aberrations... that are really so great to eat! :lol: There's also the "polvorones", mix of wheat flour, almond powder, and pork fat, then passed thru the oven.
THere are more things, for instance if you go to LIDL shops, where they have a great variety of sweets our german members will know well.

Merry Christmas to everyone!

It is an unexpected busy year for me at work. My plan of finishing my Larousse LC90 this year is really in jeopardy.

At least my boys put our old Christmas tree up two days ago. There is snow on the ground to celebrate a white Christmas.

I have not even determine what to eat tonight.

Well, my family is going to do some singing and movies after dinner.

Merry Christmas everyone!

First we have Christmas Eve here in Michigan....started with a nice slow beer....
Image
Then some shrimp and veggies on the barbee.....

Image
Then the Missus and I sat in our "parlor" (LOL, old term) and looked at the tree for an hour or two....
Then Santa came, but we were too tired to handle his nonsense....wonder if there were any models in these packages?

Christmas day we are going to have to deal with Prime Rib and watch our beloved Packers play the Browns.
I think I noticed that we have PLAYOFF tickets for Lambeau in my ticket allocation.....Maybe Santa has a surprise for us
! :D
